I've been really looking forward to doing this blog post for a while now. &book is a curated monthly book subscription box. Wow, what a mouthful that sentence was. Like many other subscription boxes out there, it has a different theme every month and the book along with all of the goodies in the box are according to the theme. The October theme was POSSIBILITIES. I was sent the October box because I took pictures for their IG feed for a while (which was amazing), and I held off doing an unboxing as soon as I got it because I didn't want to spoil the contents for others who still hadn't received their box. It's been a while now, so let's get to unboxing! 

(I want to preface this review by saying that Three Dark Crowns was my most anticipated read of 2016. I shit you not, I had hyped up this novel so much in my own damn head that when I pre-ordered the book it was all I could think about.) 

I'm deceased right now so I'm having difficulty putting my thoughts together, bare with me. 

ALRIGHT FAM, STOP WHATEVER IT IS YOU'RE DOING AND GIMME LIKE 2.5 MINS TO EXPLAIN WHY YOU NEED THIS BOOK IN YOUR LIFE.

 
Do ya'll remember the masterpiece that was Imaginary Girls? Like, holy shit, I'm such trash for Nova Ren Suma and her writing style. I eat it up like it's cake of the highest quality. I shit you not, Nova Ren Suma does not disappoint with this novel. Omg can I say Nova Ren Suma one more time? Nova Ren Suma. Ok. 

GOODREADS BLURB:

When Jill wakes up in a hospital bed with her leg in a cast, the last six weeks of her life are a complete blank. All she has been told is that she was involved in a fatal accident while on a school trip in Italy and had to be jetted home to receive intensive care. Care that involves a lawyer. And a press team. Because maybe the accident…. wasn't just an accident.

With no memory of what happened or what she did, can Jill prove her innocence? And can she really be sure that she isn't the one to blame?

So I started reading this book a while ago, then had to put it on hold because I had my dissertation to write and then exams, it wasn't because I didn't enjoy it. In fact, I was incredibly surprised by just how much I liked this book. You know, I'm actually not a fan of contemporary reads at all. Just not the genre I usually gravitate towards, but I do have an inkling for picking up contemporary novels during the summer months. I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels that way. Right? Right. 

I have found the perfect album. This is it. No, seriously. Listen to it, this shit is lit! No joke, I've had this on repeat for the past week and it's been getting me through the very painful process of writing my dissertation. Which speaking of, I'm procrastinating by writing this post, but what else is new? Keeping this short and sweet though. Just give it a listen, this album is amazing.
